The law ? the first of its kind ? means that partners who make such insults or threats of physical violence faces up to three years in prison and a ?75,000 (£60,000) fine.

"How can you define what is 'a reiterated insult'?," said Virgine Duval, national secretary USM, France's biggest magistrates' union.

"This is just a poster law pushed through to please women's rights lobbies ? but it's inapplicable in practice and if anything will increase conflicts in families," she told The Daily Telegraph.
